		<description>&quot;This is no way a reflection of Islam any more than Timothy McVeigh’s actions are a reflection of Christianity,&quot; said Carson, 

McVeigh was not a Christian. He served in Desert Storm, sympathized with the muslims and hated the American government afterwards, yet tried to get in intelligence. Witnesses claimed seeing him with two separate muslims shortly prior.  To this day the FBI will not release the video. WHERE IS THE VIDEO FROM FT HOOD? 

McVeigh wrote their first target of choice was the federal building in Clinton&#039;s home-state Arkansas, but could not make the impact they wanted (much better to blow up a building with a day care and kill baby&#039;s and children). Video and day-care witness at Denver Co trial, showed McVeigh being shown the 2nd floor day care, under the ruse daycare director said, that he was in the military and moving there and wanted his children to go there. There were the ATF, and on 5th floor a VA office.   Also, records show he and another made a visit to a VA hospital, another target choice target. His attorney wrote a book, and many have tried to expose the cover-up by the Clinton Administration.  Indiana was a governement as-kissing state way before McVeigh&#039;s act of terrorism. There were many people involved in this, but Clinton tried to blame it on fairy-tale conservative militias in order to change gun-control laws.</description>

		<description>&quot;He also advised them to keep their tempers in check.&quot;

huh? Such a loving peaceful religion,  Hide their radical protests, and anti-America rants.  

&quot;Whenever we hear the name turns out to be Arabic or Muslim we feel a double shock&quot; about such &quot;&quot;incidents.&quot;&quot;

huh? &quot;incidents&quot;? Americans feel double shock too, everytime the name is Arabic or Muslim because they keep trying to blow up innocent Americans that they do not even know. 

Dear former marine Salaam,  thank you for coming out of the closet after 9/11 and serving with our soldiers. Semper-Fy.</description>

		<description>The whine of victimhood is the leper&#039;s bell of an approaching criminal.

We know how to read the absurdly inflated claims of feared violence coming from our mohammedan &quot;neighbors&quot;. It is a declaration of hostile intent. Pure and simple.

It is a preemptive claim of justification for acts of violence.

It is an excuse for their unshakable intransigent enmity. 

It is a threat disguised as a plea.

We read you loud and clear.

And the general consensus on our side is ... bring it, bitch!

Bear in mind as you dance around your plastic electronic campfire that the mohammedans have lost every single serious military engagement with the west of the last 500 years. Because, of course, orthodox mohammedan culture makes free inquiry next to illegal. You&#039;ve been out-thought every time because your preachers have forbidden thinking.

Doh!

Our elites stand with you against us, but be under no illusions why that is happening. It is happening because our elites are solidly, absolutely convinced of your pitiable inferiority. They want you as pets.

The rest of us ... well, suffice it to say that we see you as you are.</description>

		<description>&quot;While a motive remains unclear,&quot;  AP

It might be unclear to you and the rest of the liberal fools at the ASSociated Press but to real Americans it is obvious.  Major Whackjob is a jihadi ahole who hates America and all non-muslims.  End of story.

I can&#039;t wait until we start playing Cowboys and Muslims.</description>

		<description>You know who should really fear a backlash? 

The Christians who have a cross in their homes in Saudi Arabia, who fear that the police will break down their doors, destroy their Bibles and throw them in jail.....the Jew who gets caught in a neighborhood of Palestinian youths....the Christians in Pakistan who get burned to death over rumors of defacing a Koran...the Baha&#039;i who dare practice in Iran, whose holy sites were bulldozed by the mullahs....the Muslim who attempts to convert to another religion....the woman who tries to flee an honor killing from dear old dad. 

Oh, I could go on. But I guess I&#039;m a racist bigot for pointing out the human rights abuses inherent in Islamic law.

By the way, does it give me points that a great-great-grandparent of mine happened to be a Muslim woman, from a part of the Ottoman Empire that the Romans originally referred to as Palestine? Like, Bill Cosby can talk about the negative aspects ghetto culture because he&#039;s black, but a white person cannot without being called racist? 

Muslims have it easy in the U.S. - to think otherwise is a joke. A few mean glances from random people are nothing compared to the hate that non-Muslims face under Islamic theocracies.</description>

		<description>What frosts my tush is why we are even having this as a discussion!  SOMEBODY!!  Realize the threat of Islam, not just the crystal clear posters on this site!  Trolls!  Read what is being said here....this country will NEVER subjugate itself to Islamic anything!  What Muslims fail to realize is that the more people they kill in the name of Allah, the more of this population will take another step towards fixing the problem themselves.  Trust me all of you of the Muslim faith...you do NOT want that to happen.  This country isnt like the sheep weakling European countries you have successfully infiltrated and infected with the disease of Islam.  We will take matters into our own hands, and once that threshold is crossed, there will be no stopping it.  So take heed all of you closet jihadists who secretly approve of the killing of innocent unarmed people in the name of your God....there is a limit to our ability to tolerate your bullshit murdering ways....and it is fast approaching the tipping point.  And you, my horribly misinformed religiously challenged adherents to a religion that embraces death over life....you can stop it, or discover to your dismay that you wont be able to &quot;sit out&quot; the consequences of wanton genocide against the Infidel.  This is one time I can guarantee that &quot;We&quot;, the American citizen, will prevail, and do it in such a way that all of your efforts at terrorism will pale by comparison.  Keep that in mind as you keep your mouths closed while your fellow muslims plot their next murders........</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s a perfect example of headline abuse:

The AP&#039;s headline:

&lt;b&gt;Suspect asked for advice on going to fight Muslims&lt;/b&gt;

Now, what would you tend to think when reading that?  That this major was being sent off to go kill &quot;fellow&quot; muslims, right? 

But read further and the the very first line explains it:

&lt;blockquote&gt;   By ANGELA K. BROWN, Associated Press Writer Angela K. Brown, Associated Press Writer   – 20 mins ago

FORT HOOD, Texas – The Army psychiatrist suspected of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood &lt;b&gt;recently asked for advice on &lt;i&gt;what he should tell fellow soldiers concerned about fighting Muslims in Iraq or Afghanistan&lt;/i&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; a local Muslim leader said Saturday.

Osman Danquah, co-founder of the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen, said he spoke with the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, after two services in late summer. During the conversations, Danquah said Hasan never expressed anger toward the Army or indicated any plans for violence.

&lt;b&gt;But during their second conversation, Hasan seemed almost incoherent, Danquah said.&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;But what if a person gets in and feels that it&#039;s just not right?&quot; Danquah recalled Hasan asking him.

&lt;b&gt;&quot;I told him, `There&#039;s something wrong with you,&#039;&quot;&lt;/b&gt; Danquah told The Associated Press during an interview at Fort Hood on Saturday. &quot;I didn&#039;t get the feeling he was talking for himself, but something just didn&#039;t seem right.&quot;

But Danquah was sufficiently troubled that he recommended the center reject Hasan&#039;s request to become a lay Muslim leader at Fort Hood.

Authorities have accused Hasan of opening fire on fellow soldiers on Thursday at Fort Hood, in a stream of gunfire that left 13 people dead and more than two dozen wounded in the worst mass shooting on a military facility in the U.S. At the start of the attack, Hasan reportedly jumped up on a desk and shouted &quot;Allahu akbar!&quot; — Arabic for &quot;God is great!&quot; Hasan was seriously wounded by police and is being treated in a military hospital.

The military has said he was scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan, but family members suggested he was trying avoid serving overseas.

Hasan&#039;s relatives who live in the Palestinian territories have said they had heard from family members that Hasan felt mistreated in the Army as a Muslim.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The AP clearly is trying to indicate that it&#039;s as if the major was being sent to kill people, for after all, that&#039;s what the Army does, right?  The real truth is that the major was being sent as part of a normal overseas rotation to do his job counseling soldiers who have done the fighting.  Granted, that can be a heavy burden for any person, but he himself need not condone the killing as his job is to get the patient to come to a place where they can live with what they&#039;ve had to do.  

Severe warpage in the news pages must not deter us from our goal of defeating terrorism.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a perfect example of headline abuse:</p>
<p>The AP&#8217;s headline:</p>
<p><b>Suspect asked for advice on going to fight Muslims</b></p>
<p>Now, what would you tend to think when reading that?  That this major was being sent off to go kill &#8220;fellow&#8221; muslims, right? </p>
